I think you''re a little confused. LVM and NFS are not mutually
exclusive. LVM is a low level drive partitioning scheme. NFS is a
network file system. You can create partitions with LVM and share them
via NFS or just hand them directly to the VM as a disk.

Yes. Except for the Domain0, none of the domains know that any other
domains exist, nor do they care. They are isolated and believe
themselves to be the only OS running on the machine.
